In 1827, he married Mary Eleanor, daughter of Miles Keon of Keonbrook, county Leitrim. Their marriage settlement led to a court case in the Rolls Court in 1846. Edward Talbot Brady of Dublin held the townland of Lurgananure, 326 acres in the parish of Killinkere, county Cavan, at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. In 1841, Edward married Margaret Hottenil.
